Advertisement
In a strong response to the non-implementation of time-bound promotion since 2014, Tamil Nadu Government Doctors' Association (TNGDA) has taken an extreme step to boycott MCI inspection. All the government-run medical colleges will be reportedly barred from any kind of MCI inspection.
As implied by the association, in 2009, there was governments order (GO) 354 of Health and Family Welfare Department issued putting in effect time-bound promotions for doctors in different ranks. The Directorate of Medical and Rural Health Services (DMRH), Directorate of Public Health and Preventive Medicine (DPHPM), and Directorate of Medical Education (DME), came directly under the purview of the new order.
However, as further implied by the State president K. Senthil said that these promotions began with GO 354 in 2009, but were later stopped in 2013 only for the rank of Associate Professors to Professors for doctors attached to the DME.
As reported by Hindu, he further added, "During the first review of GO 354's implementation in 2013, doubts were raised on whether excessive number of promotions had been provided compared to Professor positions available. So promotions were temporarily stopped."
